Algonquin Park - Visitor Centre - Canada Fall Colours
It is the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre like you've never seen.
Opened in 1993 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Algonquin Provincial Park and the entire Ontario provincial park system, the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre has world class exhibits on the Park's natural and human history, a relaxing restaurant and an excellent bookstore. A theatre presentation sums up the Park story and then takes you out to the viewing deck from where you can admire a breathtaking panorama of wild Algonquin landscape.

Pack of Wild Eastern Wolves in Algonquin Provincial Park (www.algonquinpark.on.ca)
This video shows a pack of 7 wild Eastern Wolves in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. Watch as the dominant wolf feeds upon the White-tailed Deer carcass and the other pack members interact. More dominant animals (holding their tails high when interacting) dominate subordinate pack members (holding their tails between their legs). At one point a more dominant animal pins down a subordinate wolf who relaxes until the other wolf departs. Common Ravens (the numerous birds) await their opportunity to scavenge for a meal throughout the duration of the video. This is a sight rarely recorded. Only 5 five wolves are visible at one time, but the whole pack of 7 is in the valley out of the camera's frame.

ALGONQUIN PARK VISITORS CENTRE, A QUICK TOUR AND A DRAWING
Links to stuff I actually use;
Weldbond Glue,
Sennelier Watercolour,
Moleskin 5X8.25 watercolour notebook,
Canson Watercolour Paper,
Sharpie Pens,
During my recent trip to Algonquin Park I made a quick stop by the visitors centre. Actually, I was in need of coffee. So I filmed a little bit and I did a quick drawing.
Let me know if you have ever been here. It is truly a wonderful place.
Winter in Algonquin Park Canada
From snowshoeing across Canoe Lake to skiing and skating through the woods in Arrowhead Provincial Park ... The Muskokas are Beautiful in Winter. We stay in nearby Huntsville Ontario and make day trips into the park.
Camping / RVing 2019: Eastern & Central Ontario (Bon Echo, Murphy's Pt, Driftwood, Algonquin & more)
Late June 2019, found Ranger and crew headed to Eastern and Central Ontario in our 17 Ram Copper Head and Flagstaff 26RBWS, visiting provincial parks from distant childhood memories – they didn’t disappoint.
Our drive east on Hwy 7, past the small Central Ontario communities of Havelock, Marmora, Madoc and Kaladar, brought us to Sharbot Lake Provincial Park. The park is surrounded by Hwy 7 to the north – and an important note here, some of the sites are right next to the road so choose your site carefully if the sound of traffic bothers you – and Black and Sharbot Lakes to the south. Sharbot Lake is a small park. Hiking the park was enjoyable and the call of the loons in the evening was enchanting, but this is not what we’d call a ‘destination campground’- rather, a perfect weekend spot or stop for travelling RVers.
Backtracking on Hwy 7 a short distance, we picked up Hwy 41 and headed north through the towns of Northbrook and Cloyne to Bon Echo Provincial Park. Bon Echo is a large park with lots to see and explore including the 100 metre high Mazinaw Rock featuring over 260 Indigenous pictographs, hiking trails from 1 to 17 km in length and canoe and kayak rentals. Unfortunately the Interpretive Boat Tours on Mazinaw Lake weren’t operating when we there because of damage done to the docks by the spring’s unusually high water level. The park also has an interesting visitor centre but it has limited hours (in June) and wasn’t open during our stay. Bon Echo also has a great pet beach Ranger loved. And for you RVers, the park has the best trailer dump facilities we have ever encountered – two lanes, long to prevent traffic from clogging park roads, they were even tilted slightly to help tanks drain – every other provincial park should take note – this is how it’s done.
Heading further east and south brought us to Murphy’s Point Provincial Park. Located on Big Rideau Lake, the park’s sites are well shaded…and somewhat hilly in areas. The beach was quite small (and crowded) but the tour of the Silver Queen Mine, an early 1900s mica mine, and other regular interpretive programs (offered from end of June to Labour Day) were very interesting. The town of Perth, considered by some Ontario’s prettiest town, is only a 15 minute drive from the park and offers shopping, dining – even theatre.
We next headed 250 kms north, on Hwy 17 kms, past Arnprior, Renfrew, Pembroke, Petawawa and Deep River (a great spot to reprovision btw), to Driftwood Provincial Park, right on the Ottawa River and Quebec border. Driftwood is a small and remote park but many of the sites are right on the beach with panoramic views of the Upper Ottawa River and Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains. A quick note about the beach – Driftwood comes by its name honestly - the beach is covered with driftwood. It’s picturesque but can present hazards – sandals or water shoes are a must. While the waterfront sites have limited privacy, no hydro (electricity) and some have limited swing room when backing in a trailer, they do have stunning sunsets.
From Driftwood we headed south and west into Central Ontario to Algonquin Provincial Park. The park is huge (772300ha) with Hwy 60 transiting 56kms of the southern section of the park where you’ll find 8 different campgrounds including Pog Lake, where we camped. Algonquin is amazing: rugged hills and forests, 1000’s of lakes, incredible wildlife and great attractions – the Visitor Centre and Logging Museums are absolute must see’s. The park is a photographer’s dream with hiking galore. There’s even a couple of lodges that offer dining inside the park.
Having said all that, we did find the campground had an unusual vibe – not nearly as friendly as most other provincial parks (at least while we were there) we’ve visited. And considering the vast number of campers Algonquin attracts, we were surprised by the limited trailer sanitation facilities – only one dump station, and nothing like Bon Echo’s – fortunately for us it was very quiet there mid-week when we departed.
Killbear Provincial Park never disappoints – many campsites are large and private. The beaches are sandy, the trails gentle and picturesque and the wildlife is plentiful – neighbours had a young black bear up a tree on their site for over an hour.
There’s a great fish restaurant, Gilly’s, just 10 minutes outside the park in Snug Harbour, serving fresh caught Georgian Bay perch and pickerel and Parry Sound has plentiful shopping – and fantastic pizza to take back to camp from Maurizio’s.
This was a peaceful trip filled with great memories. Other than Killbear, we hadn’t been to these parks in 25 years or more….and we realized we won’t wait near that long to return. For us, Algonquin and Bon Echo were highlights (for quite different reasons mind you) and it continued to remind us that it's true what our licence plates say: Ontario IS…Yours to Discover.

May 2013 canoe camp Algonquin Park Ontario
I came across this footage from a short trip into Algonquin Park in 2013. As I now have a better computer and software I thought I would put together this short video, I hope you enjoy. We are still in the depths of snow and cold here in Ontario Canada, so I need these films to help me through to spring.
I may look for other old, but good quality, footage to use if you enjoy this one.
Thanks for watching, any comments are welcome.
Wild Eastern Wolves in Algonquin Provincial Park - February 18, 2010 (www.algonquinpark.on.ca)
This video shows the interactions of two wild Eastern Wolves in Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. Watch as a wolf challenges a more dominant wolf already feeding upon the White-tailed Deer carcass.
This video is shaky since it was recorded using a spotting telescope and a hand held video camera. Several Common Ravens can be seen in the area waiting to scavenge upon the deer carcass. This video was recorded from the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre viewing deck on Thursday, February 18, 2010 by Park Staff.

Algonquin Provincial Park all about The Friends of Algonquin Park a non Profit organization
A video that I produced, shot and edited which took two years before broadcasting on TVCogeco Cable Muskoka Huntsville Ontario. The theme is what The Friends of Algonquin Park provide to visitors in a educational and information format. Many people from around the world visit Algonquin Park and the numbers total 1 million and of that 40,000 Japanese and 100,000 Germans. My goal in this video is to show the unique education programs offered such as the overnite stay at the Visitor Center. The Girl Guide group painting in water colours at Tea Lake Dam themed on Tom Thomson was a stroke of luck for me in weather and the Fall Colours of Canadian Thanksgiving Sunday. Program runs from September until May at the Visitors Center.
